Worksheet- Series Circuit Problems, Episode 903                    Name ________________
Remember that in a series circuit:
    the current in every part of the circuit (is the same, adds up).
   
    the voltage supplied by the battery is the _______ voltage of the circuit, and the
   
     voltage drops across each resistor (is the same, adds up to) the total voltage.
    to calculate total resistance, (add, use reciprocals).
